Eating During Pregnancy for Optimum Health and Minimum Weight Gain
The good news about healthy eating during pregnancy is that if you consider yourself to be a healthy eater already, you are well on your way to developing a wonderful pregnancy diet. Congrats!
Not Sure What to Eat While Pregnant? You're Not Alone
However, if you are still a little clueless on what you should be ingesting, I can assure you that here are no strange foods you have to stockpile, no odd pills you have to pop, and no major overhaul that your diet must undergo to get your baby fed properly.
Your pregnancy diet plan should be centered on knowing what to eat when and why. Proper nutrition for pregnancy is simply a more attuned understanding of what your growing body needs.
So What Does a Pregnant Body Need?
To make sure that your baby is properly fed all throughout the day try to adhere to eating six small meals a day. Eating smaller meals more often will keep your body from feeling starved and your blood sugar from dropping. It will also help keep your portion sizes at each meal in check.
It has been shown that if you eat six small meals a day, your overall weight gain is more likely to fall between the healthy 25-35 pound range which is the recommended amount for optimum health .
Eating During Pregnancy Doesn't Have to be Stressful
For those of you that have struggled with proper nutrition before you discovered you would be eating for two, don't fear! It won't take long to learn what choices are healthy and which ones are not. As long as you are willing to take a little time and learn how to adjust your diet, you will be able to stick to the plan.
A healthy diet for pregnancy is a beautiful thing, because it will be the first "diet" you've ever been on that isn't a diet at all. A healthy pregnant woman should be gaining weight, but slowly over the course of each trimester. If you gain anymore than 3 pounds in any given week or more than 2 pounds in the third trimester, you may be eating more than you need.
Trade in Empty Carbs for Nutritious Meals
A noshing mommy should do her best to avoid empty calories. Empty calories are what you will find at the bottom of a bag of potato chips, underneath the greasy pizza lid and in your fast food bag. Trade in those chips for a handful of nuts or an orange. Skip the pepperoni and instead whip up a delicious grass fed beef burger (iron-rich!) with some organic sweet potato fries.
So learn what to eat and how to maintain a healthy diet for you and your baby.
